A curious proposition las Just been
made by VI. Camille Flammariun, the
well known French scientific writer. He
wishes ut once TO preserve international
peace and 10 enlarge the sum Of human
knowledge concerning the structure of
the earth. To this end he would have the
various European governments unite and
turn their soldiers into miners and their
bayonet, into pickaxes and spades. At
some suitable place a vast well should lie
excavatsl, miles in depth. Indeed. VI.
Flammariou would dig downward until
lac reached the central fire. or the
center Of the globe. Thus positive knowl-
edge Of the structure Of the earth would
be gained; peace for the time would be
secured, for the nations would neither
fight nor fear each other while all their
armies were underground; and. indeed, a
permanent reign of peace would lie be-
gun, since the soldiers in the mines would
forget the arts of war. and the nations,
finding ont how well they got along
without them. would raise no more great
ornaments. New York Tribune.

RIVAL SCHOOLS OF BURGLARY.
A Row Among Partisan Robbers-Thsy
Make a Treaty Of Peace.


Some recent burglaries which were
committed in the suburbs, and the perpe-
traitors Of which were arrested, have led
to the discovery Of two bands of midnight
marauders, whose exploits are worthy of
record by a Sue. Two leading represen-
tatives of Partisan rascaldon, respectively
named Poussin and Boutonne, had
founded two rival schools Of burglary.
The Poussinists broke into an isolated
villa, the ordinary occupant Of which ian
officer was absent. Being unable to carry
away all their plumber during the night,
they returned 10 the charge toward morn-
ing, only 10 find their rivals, the Bouton-
nists, installed in their places. Thereupon
a row ensucd among the robbers. The
disused arms which were hung up as
monuments in the officers museum were
taken down from their pegs, and the COM
batants attacked each other theoretically
with sabers, the butts of muskc:s, and old
fashioned arms, such as halberts and bat
tie axes.
The sight Of flowing blood. however.
soon dampcned the ardor Of the antago.
nistic thieves, and they also feared that
the noise Of the struggle would h
heard by the police. A treaty OF peace
was accordingly entered into, and the
whole gang cemented their union oy a
grand banquet in the villa at the expense,
Of course, Of its owner, whose larder and
wine cellar were requisitioned to some
purpose, Boutonne, one Of the chiefs,
drank six bottles of champagne and one
Of cognac, after which, being no doubt
unable to oblige the company with a
song or a recitation. he amused his com
panions by turning somerSaults over TIN
chairs and tables, and doing the Cali
equivalent for a double shuttle ON the top
If an Erard piano.
After this the amalgamated hand
worked with the utmost boldness and
energy in different suburbs of Paris.
They did successful strokes of business in
lonely houses. invariably ransacked the
meat and wine departments, and left
grateful notes Of acknowledgment on the
dining room tables for the disconsolate
proprietors. In one instance Poussin and
Boutonne congratulated adespoiled house
owner OF the excellence of his poultry
and promised TO return in order to render
the customary visite de digestion. The

about twenty-five men. has been arrested.

respectable origin, who was educated in

Where there are few deers a big stag is

THE ETIQUETTE OF ALBANIA.
Filtration Unknown and Love Making
Forbidden-Ths Marriage Ceremonies

Forbidden-The Marriage Ceremonies
The dress of the Albanian women Is
ungallantly described by travellers as
hideous. II is said to be Of thick mate
rial and ~shapeless; a leather band encir-
Giles the waist, and usually a little black
cloak is thrown over the shoulders. But
the wearers are the most beautiful women
of eastern Europe, and their manners al
ways gracious.
Filtration is unknown, and even the
most dccorous love making forbidden.
The proper thing is for the lover never
to see his intended till their marriage
day. She has been carefully secluded in
the recesses of her home till her parents
think she is old enough to be married.
Having arrived at this conclusion, they
announce the fact; If the mere nnoun
ment is of no avail, they adopt strong
measures. Tie lady's brother will politely
come up to a friend in the street and
pleasantly remark: You are Just the fell
/ low | wanted to see. My sister is IA
years old; you must marry her."
No Albanian who respects himself re-
jects the proposal Of his friend; in fact,
he regards it as an honor, and knows
that a refusal means a duel To the death.
Like other more western mortals, he may
have a morbid curiosity regarding his
friends sisters personal appearance, and
then he has recourse to the inevitable old
woman, the entremetteuse in the true
sense of the word, whose profession is
10 intervene in such cases. She calls on
the bride, inspects her, and then returns
TO the eXpectant swain with a detailed
account of the young lady's qualities, of
course colorel in proportion to the fee
she has received. Then the welding day
is fixed, and at last the happy pair are
face 10 face.
! The etiquette Of Albania requires the
bridegroom to I've coy and reluctant: il is
considered degrading TO his dignity TO af-
feet any tenderness for the fair sex, and
therefore he is bound to offer strong re-
sistance TO her approach. In marked
contradistinction to the usual marriage
ceremonies, which point To a capture of
the bride, the Albanian customs indicate
a capture Of the bridegroom, and yet the
whole race displays a degree Of contempt
for women which is not found in the
most harbarous nations. Ii is worthy Of
remark, also, that in every family the
males usually 90 10 the mosque. the fe-

A Realistic Are.

"Why does an artist have to have modelY'
asked. with all the statues and pictures
and sketches that already exist, why must he
still go to the original flesh for his designs?n
1t was question ! had often asked myself
with wonder as to what the answer was.
"This is a realistic age" was the reply {;
"artists used to study the antique the antique
forever. Now they want the real thing
the thing of life. The art schools used to
demand that figure be SO many heads high.
Now they want them as they are, all varying,
as faces vary, as everything varies in actual
life. In Paris there are artists who go about
the streets in wagons with peep holes cut in
the sides of the wagon tops, stopping wherever
there is queer posture or interesting group

Queer Deeds of Trust.

The other day Deputy Clerk Henry Hardy
was requested to put on record u deed of
trust in which small farmer pledged his
best suit of clothes to the merchant who was
to provide him with some needed pro-
visions. The farmer regretfully stated that
he had been compelled by the city merchant
to furnish security. He had an old suit, and
thought he could stay away from church
until next fall, when he would get in his
crops and pay his debts. He was permitted
to keep the clothes, but was not to wear them
out, and was made to understand that they
were liable to execution in case he failed to
meet his agreement. Another deed of trust
recorded was for three chickens. They were
al the 1mpecunious farmer had, and as Sc
curlty of some kind was demanded the
chickens were put on paper. Numerous i'll
stances are on record where mules, cows,
pigs, sewing machines, and even baby car.
rlages have been pledged by small planters
who applied for credit Most of these are ne
groes, but quite n number of white men have
obtained temporary relief from poverty by
mortgaging property of the description
given Mule mortgages are by far the most
common, however; next to mules, sewing
machines are acceptable to the merchants
who, either through avarice or fear of being
swindled, compel their debtors to give deeds
of trust on articles which in many cases are
valueless. Herald.

How She Came to BE an Actress.

Lady Martin, formerly famous as Miss
Helen Faucit, gives the following account of
how she came to be an actress: One hot af-
ternoon my sister and myself, finding it yet
too sunny to walk down to the river-we had
to pass the theatre Gn Richmond by the
Ihaines) on the way-took refuge in the dark.
cool place to rest a while. On the stage was
flight of steps and balcony, left standing,
no doubt after rehearsal, or prepared for
that of the next day. After sitting on the
steps for n while, my sister exclaimed: "Why,
this might do for Romeo and Juliets bal
cony. Go up, birdie, and l will be your
Romeo" Upon which, amid much laughter,
and with no little stumbling over the words,
we went through the balcony scene, being
prompter.
Ny sister and 1 went away to the river,
leaving the shadowy gloom of the stage empty
as we found it. To our surprise and conster-
nation we learned some little time after that
there had been a listener. When our friends
arrived some days later the lessee told them
that, having occasion to go from the dwelling
house to his private box she had heard voices,
listened and remained during the time of our
merry rehearsal He spoke in such warm
terms of the Juliet's voice, its adaptabiity to
the character, her fgure-I was tall for my
age-and so forth, that in the end he pre-
vailed on my friends to let me make a trial
on his stage To this, at my then very tender
age, they were loath to consent But was
to be announced simply as young lady-her
first appearance. At tho worst failure
would not matter, and at any rate the expert
ment would show whether l had gifts or not
in that direction. Thus did little frolic
prove to be the turning point in my life

EXPERIENCE WITH A MODEL.
An Incident Told by metropolitan
Artist-Good Reputation.

Artist-Good Reputation.
NV artist friend told me an interesting
story of an experience he had with woman,
now a celebrated model, when she first posed
in studio. She dropped in upon him. saying
that she had been counter girl in O'Neil's, q
shopping store, at about So a week, and could
rot make both ends meet; that lady friend
who was a model had spoken of him as gen.
tleman and that if he needed a subject she
would like him to tell her what to do. He
told her what she would have to accustom
herself to if she followed that life, but she
said she knew all about it. He pointed to g
screen and babe her go behind it and take off
her things. Presently she reappeared, but in
little more undress than if she were about to
retire Informed that this was not what was
wanted, she disappeared and next revealed
herself in complete undress, but with her
back to the artist.
Here was an extraordinarily beautiful
form, and as he made sketch of her figure
he debated with himself how he should deal
with her. He resolved to be wholly business
like, and so, walking over to where she stood
he babe her turn around and posed her as he
wished her to stand. By tho time he reacueJ
his easel she was bent double and indulgins II
fit OF crying blended with almost hystericnl
laughter. He told her it was quite evident
that she had better give up her ambition and
return to her former life, and he supposed
she would. But she did not She is now one
OF the most noted and priced models in town.
She remains perfectly good girl, but is not
averse to sitting entirely disrobed and smok-
ing cigarette while curled up like Turk en-
a lounge waiting for her employer to begin
work
Tho most popular model now, however, is
former model who has been married and had
several children, and has at last been obliged
to return to the old life in order to support
her husband. Models ia good demand make
S25 week. A most curious fact that my in
formant says has been noticed among artists
is that members of the demi monde cannot be
got to pose as models. 1t would be inferred
from that that the most utter shamelessness
is found in those who do that work, and yet
very many-in fact, all who have a modicum
of brains-are good women who lead orderly
lives and keep admirable homes.-Julian
